Five-year enthronement three-year simulation

As soon as Ming Tan finished speaking, the two of them lowered their heads and began to write articles seriously.

The topic was chosen by Wang Zhi himself, and he is very familiar with it. He just feels that there has never been a time like today when his thoughts are flowing. The beautiful sentences in the exam papers back then seemed to have grown wings, and they all drilled into his mind one after another. Without thinking about it, he wrote them down on the draft with a brush, his eyes staring at the handwriting were slightly red.

it is good!it is good!

It really is a witty remark, flowing clouds and flowing water, which can be called Mr. Changli's "Dragon Wen Hundred Dendrobium Cauldron, the writing power can be carried alone"!

After a while, Wang Zhi finished the article in one go, and while he was complacent, he still didn't forget to turn his head to look at Lin Shurong's situation.

I saw that the other party's expression was flat, not as urgent as my own at all, and she wrote down the pen calmly and calmly, and the writing on the paper was less than half that of Wang Zhi's. It really made people worry whether she could Finish before the fragrance runs out.

Hmph, no matter who is the daughter of the prime minister or not a Jinshi, don't you have to see the real chapter under your hands?

Wang Zhi sneered secretly, looked away, and began to concentrate on correcting the format of the draft, avoiding the taboo of the venerable, so that he could copy it to the volume later.

He was in a very good self-conscious state, and he copied the draft stroke by stroke, almost stepping into a state of ecstasy.It wasn't until the last word was written on it that Wang Zhi woke up suddenly, put the brush aside, and carefully read the article he wrote.

Well, the handwriting is written like a dragon and a snake, and the back of the paper is quite strong; the scroll surface is also neat and tidy, well-organized, without any trace of stains, what should be avoided is avoided, and what should be marked is marked. It is completely a normative policy theory that can be taken immediately for reference!

As for the content, he also used all the sentences written down in his head in the article. The whole article is full of pen and ink, with almost no redundant words, and every word is the essence.Even if it is placed under the noses of the imperial examination examiners, at least one sentence of "the sky is latitude and the earth, clear and one breath" is required. Isn't this not enough to see that Wang Dashi's literary talent is brilliant!

Satisfied, Wang Zhi blew on the ink in satisfaction, and looked forward, only to see that there was still about a quarter of Changxiang left, and there was still about a quarter of an hour left.

He rolled his eyes, glanced at Lin Shurong again, and found that the latter was still copying the draft, so he immediately felt a little competitive, walked out from behind the case, and bowed to the people who had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time: "A certain Finished, I have the audacity to invite all adults to comment on it!"

Hearing this, the scholars of the Hanlin Academy immediately whispered to each other for a while, and finally three people came out, one surnamed Guo, one surnamed Li, and one surnamed Qi.They are all direct bachelors from the Hanlin Academy of the third rank, they are talented and educated, and their official positions are second only to the head of the academy, so they are naturally the most convincing.

Therefore, Guo Xueshi, who was the oldest, took the lead and said: "Wang Shi reads, and bring your article."

Wang Zhi didn't dare to neglect, and quickly presented the paper.

Xueshi Guo took it over and checked the papers together with the other two.They all served as chief examiners or assistant examiners in the imperial examination, and they are very good at rewarding, criticizing, and commenting. As soon as they finished reading, they knew that Wang Zhi's article this time was far beyond the normal level, and they couldn't help but praise loudly: "Good! What a great article A romantic article with brilliant diction and penetrating penetrating power!"

"This sentence is sharp and sharp, and it directly expresses the benefits of prudence in rewards and punishments. It hits the nail on the head..."

"After reading the whole article, the old man actually felt so relieved! Moreover, it is rare for Wang Shidu to quote a lot of allusions from "Book of Songs" and "Spring and Autumn" in his article, which really impressed me!"

"If I encounter this article in the scientific examination, I will definitely take a high ranking, so as not to bury these good words and sentences of the parallel battle!"

Hearing that these scholars who had always looked down on him praised this article in every possible way at this time, Wang Zhi couldn't help but feel ecstatic, and said repeatedly: "It's just a small thing, how can I deserve such absurd praise from you adults?" !"

Among the three, Xueshi Guo is the most lenient.Even though I usually feel that Wang Zhi is a bit unable to support the wall, but seeing this article now, I found that he still has some real skills, so I immediately reached out and patted the other party's shoulder, and said kindly: "Yes, Wang Shi read it really well." You have made a lot of progress. After staying for a few days, the old man will go to discuss with Yang Zhangyuan to see if he can invite the Ministry of Officials to promote you to the position of direct bachelor..."

Hanlin straight bachelor!Second only to the third-rank officer in charge of the academy!

Then wouldn't he be the same as the few people in front of him, able to stand at the top of the Hanlin Academy and call the wind and rain at will?

Wang Zhi's eyes widened sharply, and he said excitedly, "Thank you, Xueshi Guo, for your support!"

The room was full of joy, and the scholars who hung their hearts behind gradually relaxed, exhaled, and thought that this time they would not embarrass them to the Hanlin Academy, would they?

Then they turned their heads together and looked at Lin Shurong who was motionless over there.

However, different from what they expected, the other party didn't seem to have heard the award that Wang Zhi received at all, and his expression was still indifferent. After a while, he stopped writing, but he was not in a hurry to hand in the paper, and only cared about the girl beside her whom he didn't know. Chatting softly, and laughing lowly from time to time, doesn't it seem like you are trying to make a fuss with someone?

It is more leisurely and calm than enjoying flowers and cooking tea.

Seeing this scene, many bachelors couldn't help frowning frequently, and laughed in their hearts: With such an attitude, what good articles can be made?Could it be that it was a joke for no reason!

Just when they curled their lips at each other, the stick of incense finally burned to the root.Lin Shurong was finally willing to pick up the paper, and Shi Shiran walked towards the three direct scholars, and said with a smile, "Masters, please have a look."

After seeing Wang Zhi's astonishing article, both Li Qi and Li Qi lacked interest.Only Xueshi Guo, who has the best temper, still had a friendly attitude, accepted her article, and said politely: "Miss Lin is working hard."

Seriously, this Guo Xueshi is the same as Yang Zhangyuan of the Hanlin Academy today, and both have the same year friendship with Lin Xiang.So Lin Shurong also respected him very much, and saluted him, "Thank you, Mr. Guo."

Xueshi Guo nodded, opened the paper, and began to read it seriously.

But what was unexpected was that under the watchful eyes of everyone, his brows became tighter the more he looked at him, and his originally peaceful eyes gradually became sharper, as if he was about to tear up the paper in the next second. Startled, he hurriedly asked, "Master Guo? But what did this article say..."

He didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Guo Xueshi waving his hand, handed the paper to them both, and said in a deep voice, "Look at it."

Li Qi and the two were confused, took the paper, looked up at Lin Shurong, but saw that the other party was still calm and composed, as if he didn't notice Guo Xueshi's strangeness at all, he smiled at them and nodded slightly.

"..."

Wang Zhi, who was next to him, had a panoramic view of this scene, and his chest was full of sarcasm, and he couldn't help asking: "Could it be that Miss Lin wrote something that shouldn't be written because she didn't follow the rules, so she angered Xueshi Guo like this? "

As soon as the words fell, the people around suddenly realized, and turned their heads to discuss with each other.

"Extremely extreme, Miss Lin has never participated in a scientific examination, but it is really possible to make such a mistake..."

"The rules on the paper are complicated, and candidates who have studied hard for many years will occasionally make mistakes, let alone a white woman who has never entered a tribute court."

"Probably because I didn't remember the taboo? Or maybe I made a mistake in the blank line? This is a big taboo. If you encounter it during the scientific examination, you will be dismissed immediately!"

There were so many different opinions, but Lin Shurong ignored all of them, and only looked at Xueshi Guo with a smile, his eyes full of calmness.

Under her gaze, Xueshi Guo breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Xueshi Li and Xueshi Qi, and said slowly, "My lords, have you finished reading?"

"This……"

The two held the paper and looked at each other in shock.

After a while, Xueshi Qi took the lead in sighing: "I thought that the comment that Duke Yang once gave Mr. Wen, the Ministry of Officials, 'put on a piece of clothing and hold the bones of the nine immortals' was too exaggerated-but after reading this article today, I realized that there are really people in the world. Such a magnificent and magnificent seal of gold! It deserves such a high reputation!"

"That's right!" Li Xueshi also stroked his beard for a long time, wishing his eyes could be embedded in the paper, "This question is derived from the sentence in the "Shang Shu" that "the suspicion of crime is light, but the doubt of merit is serious". It is difficult to understand, but Ms. Lin was able to analyze the topic to this point: she started the topic with praises for the ancestors of Yao and Shun who loved the people, and followed the theme closely; then she quoted the classics of King Mu and the famous lines of "Han Shu" successively, discussing that the way of rewards and punishments must be broadly gracious Punishment is prudent, and loyalty is emphasized; in the end, it is concluded with the method of reward and punishment. A masterpiece of research writing!"*

"Unexpected, unexpected..." Qi Xueshi trembled with his fingertips holding the paper, and looked at Lin Shurong with great admiration, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'm afraid even I wouldn't believe it—such an article came from a The hands of Fang and Taoli Nianhua's woman really shocked the world!"

After they finished complimenting each other, Lin Shurong gave a blessing neither humble nor overbearing, and said calmly, "Thank you for your compliment, my lord."

"As expected of Mrs. Lin's eldest daughter, this policy theory is elegant in terms of words and noble in classical Chinese, and there is a lot of arrogance in it. It is really like my father!" Guo Xueshi also nodded, looking at Lin Shurong with eyes full of tears. Love and praise, "Sure enough, Miss Lin is really as rumored, and she deserves to be called a 'Uncompromising Jinshi'!"

"My lord Guo is too famous. My ministers dare not compare with my father," Lin Shurong shook his head and said, "My father was the number one scholar in high school in the past, but my minister's daughter is not even considered a scholar. How can I say that I have his character?"

"...Well, if a woman can participate in science and become an official," Guo Xueshi paused, and sighed softly, "How can Miss Lin lose to her father in terms of fame and fame?"

These words were heard in a very low voice, and they did not reach the ears of the officials who were still at a loss, but they were heard clearly by Wang Zhi who was at the side.

Don't lose to your father?

Isn't that saying that Lin Shurong is the number one scholar!

There is still such an exaggerated praise for a woman, but the comment I gave him just now is just a scene of "take a top ranking", and I am still ecstatic about it...

How ironic!

Wang Zhi's eyes were red, greatly stimulated, he rushed forward like crazy, snatched the examination paper from Qi Xueshi's hand, and looked straight at the beautiful words on it like clouds and startling dragons.

"Therefore, the voice of his call to Yu, happy rest and sorrow, can be seen in the books of Yu, Xia, Shang, and Zhou..."*

Wang Zhi looked at ten lines at a glance, and while reading, his expression gradually changed from displeasure to astonishment.

The moment he finished reading the last word, he suddenly raised his head, his fingertips trembling violently, and he almost couldn't hold Lin Shurong's light test paper steadily.

"It is advocated that the king governs the country with benevolence, with clear rewards and punishments; there are hidden ancient rhymes in the words, and I like to remember the time of the ancestors..." Wang Zhi's voice was hoarse, and he could almost growl. "Such elegant and noble articles, this is clearly lonely. The character of the layman!——You, what is your relationship with him!"

Hearing the name "Lonely Scholar", the surrounding academicians of the Imperial Academy immediately became agitated, and all looked at Lin Shurong in shock.

"Gushi Jushi is the most mysterious great poet in my dynasty! His works have been popular in the literary world for nearly 30 years. He has become a school of his own, but he still refuses to reveal his real name. He only uses the title of 'Guyu'. Even His Majesty once called him Entering Beijing but not being able to... What kind of relationship can such a person have with Miss Lin?"

"There are so many differences between policies and poems, how can we generalize them? Most likely Wang Shi read it wrong?"

"The writing style is similar, so it's not impossible to recognize it. Wang Shidu has always been the most sought after Layman Lonely Hunt, and he knows him very well--and, I heard the sentence he read just now, it seems that the intention is indeed the same as that of "Ode to Chime Bells" Quite similar."

"There is a lot of admiration for the time of Yao, Shun and Yu Tang, advocating 'following the kings and benevolent government'... The humble ministers are not talented, and they have some research on poetry and prose. This is indeed the poetic style of a lonely layman."

Amidst the divergent opinions, under the focus of everyone's eyes, Lin Shurong frowned slightly, remained silent for a while, and the expression on his face became more and more strange.

Ming Tan, who had been watching the show for a long time, obviously noticed the change in her expression, and hurried forward, lowering his voice, "What's wrong?"

Lin Shurong sighed imperceptibly, and when she was about to speak, even Xueshi Guo looked at her curiously, and took the lead to ask: "Miss Lin, in the article you wrote just now, some sentences are indeed related to lonely Mr. Wu is quite similar—I wonder if you really know him? After all, Mr. Gu has always loved the ancient prose of the pre-Qin period, and the style is difficult to imitate. Even the old man is a little surprised..."

Guo Xueshi was in the same year as her father, logically speaking, Lin Shurong should even be called Uncle Guo.Therefore, it is not easy to hide it, so I had to hesitate for a moment, and then replied: "There is no need to hide this matter from your lord... Actually, what you call "Lonely Layman" is exactly the nickname my father used to use."

As soon as the words fell, the surroundings suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

"...Prime Minister, Your Excellency Prime Minister?!"

After a long while, Wang Zhi seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt, his face full of expressions of a collapsed world view, and he murmured in despair: "Mr. Under the shackles of the Four Books and Five Classics... how can someone who is so exemplary as a poet in the world be the same person as Prime Minister Lin? I don't believe it!"

"Believe it or not, this is the truth."

Lin Shurong rubbed her forehead, turned her head to look at Guo Xueshi who was also astonished, and explained to him helplessly: "My father has been composing poems since the year of Dancing Elephant, and he has always called himself 'Lonely Scholar'. But for some reason, Even if there is no cover-up on weekdays, no one has ever linked him with this name..."

"Afterwards, until one fell swoop was won and the gold list was named, the world thought that the number one scholar should study scriptures and history instead of poetry, and no one would believe that my father was Mr. Gu Wu."

"Then His Majesty once called him to Beijing but couldn't..."

"My father is the prime minister, how can he enter the capital again?" Lin Shurong said with a smile, "When His Majesty gave the first word, he immediately went to the palace to explain, but he didn't know what went wrong. Rumors that I would rather go back to the mountains and forests than become an official in the court'... It is not easy for His Majesty and my father to intervene in such an oolong matter, so we have to let it spread by word of mouth, so it has become the current situation."

"..."

Good fellow, I'll call you good fellow.

Being also a victim of folk rumors, Ming Tan was stunned and moved by hearing it, and couldn't help feeling a little bit of sympathy for his father-in-law.

Alas, it's a bit miserable, to be forced to separate for so many years...

It is recommended to write a book immediately, the title is "About the fact that the whole world does not accept that my vest is myself".

The author has something to say: Ming Tan: Master Lin must be beaten so badly on the public screen!
